Executive Summary

Non-technical founders at roughly 30 million small-to-medium businesses face a real bottleneck: they see the potential of AI agents but lack engineering, integration, and prompt-engineering resources, so pilots often stall or cost tens of thousands and months to deliver. These buyers would be willing to spend if value were clear — the addressable market is estimated at $18.0B (30M SMBs × $600 ACV), but adoption is constrained by time, cost, and complexity. You could build a no-code platform of pre-built, verticalized AI-agent templates plus a visual agent composer that lets non-technical founders launch role-specific agents (customer support, lead qualification, inventory assistant) in days rather than months. Start with a focused catalog (for example, 10 high-value vertical templates) and bake in connectors to common SaaS, a testing sandbox, guardrails, and usage analytics, with a base pricing approach around the $600 ACV benchmark and premium tiers for customization. The timing is strong: generative AI is shifting from experimentation to production, no-code adoption is mainstreaming, and buyers are seeking verticalized solutions — these trends justify the market score of 90/100 and revenue potential of 88/100. Competition is medium, so there is room for multiple niche winners that can prove fast time-to-value and measurable ROI. To differentiate, double down on domain-specific templates, high-quality integrations, onboarding playbooks that show economic outcomes, and observability/security features that non-technical founders trust; generalist low-code vendors often lack this combination. Expect challenges around controlling model costs, keeping templates accurate across diverse business contexts, and demonstrating consistent ROI, but if you can deliver verifiable reductions in deployment time (weeks to days) and clear business impact, the opportunity is compelling.

Market Opportunity

Non-technical founders build AI agents using no-code agent templates targets a $18.0B = 30M small-to-medium businesses × $600 ACV for AI-agent tooling and automation per year total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 30% YoY — estimated growth for generative AI and automation tool spending (industry analyst synthesis, 2024).

Key trends driving demand: Generative AI adoption — LLM-based automation is shifting from experimentation to production, creating demand for operational tooling.; No-code mainstreaming — business users increasingly accept visual builders for automation, lowering adoption friction for agent tooling.; Verticalization — buyers prefer pre-built, domain-specific templates that reduce time-to-value compared to generic tools.; Toolchain integration — companies expect first-class connectors to CRMs, ticketing, and databases so agents fit existing workflows..

Key competitors include AgentGPT, Zapier, Make (formerly Integromat).
